    I watched a couple videos on the Diddy case, and a couple days later my whole feed was filled with the worst conspiracy theories and Christian preachers.

    I watch one Youtuber talking about pyramids, YouTube fills my whole suggestions with ancient alien conspiracies.

    I watched one cover of a song, I get recommended the same song for weeks.

    I watch one reaction video, the whole feed turns into reaction videos within minutes.

    It’s a fight against the algorhytm and it isn’t fun. It’s incredible how dumb it is after all these years, and those algprhythms are partly to blame that everyone feels more miserable than they are.
